In this episode, I dove into the often dreaded world of awkward silences during conversations. I shared how these pauses, rather than being feared, can actually be transformed into opportunities for deeper connections. We explored techniques like asking open-ended questions, making observations, and practicing active listening to navigate these moments with ease. I also discussed the importance of shifting our mindset about silence and how humor can be a great tool to break the tension. Lastly, I offered practical tips on building confidence through role-playing and reflection.
